The ninth imperial princess, born of the royal line, was surnamed Ji and named Wushuang. She killed her father and brothers, seized the throne, and eventually took her own life in the palace.
That’s right, Ji Wushuang died. Before she did, she also killed Shangguan Yi, the transmigrator who called herself a goddess and claimed to know everything.
As a princess of the royal house, Ji Wushuang had only three paths before her: marry into a powerful clan, travel beyond the frontier to marry for peace, or take a poor scholar as her husband.
With the weakest faction behind her, she ultimately chose to travel beyond the frontier for a political marriage, because it was her only chance to escape her chains.
But after escaping her misery and winning back her freedom, Ji Wushuang was targeted by the transmigrator Shangguan Yi and branded a traitor plotting rebellion. The emperor sent her away to marry for peace once more.
Ji Wushuang watched as one shackle came off only for another to be fastened around her, as she climbed out of one pit only to fall into an even deeper one.
In the end, she decided to make the charge of treason a reality. She slaughtered every powerful clan that had targeted her, killed every prince and princess who could challenge her for power, overthrew her father, and claimed the throne.
But she lost the advantage and fell into a trap laid by her uterine elder brother, the Third Prince, and the transmigrator.
In her previous life, Ji Wushuang was left with no choice but to die alongside the transmigrator on the day of her coronation.
Since Heaven has given her another chance to be reborn, even if she must walk step by step toward death, Ji Wushuang will stand at the pinnacle of power and live this life in glory.
